Popular Post drvin Posted May 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 If they are really worried about the second wave then they can never re-open. As there are almost no cases now, the difference between opening now with no cases or in 2 months with no cases is the same. Just a matter of getting the second wave now or later 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second wave is a misleading word. When death cases goes down some say "ok, now we run out and drink". This is called a wave. And it happened as I predicted when our dear pool opened again. 3 farangs bent down 24 bottle of Large beers after darkness. 22 pm reception told them to be more quiet, but no. 22.30 police came after a guest had called about the noise. Of course from Scandinavia never saw beer before ... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post eeworldwide Posted May 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 Thailand has tested relatively few people - hence their numbers are low. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - we have to wait until rainy season when the climate cools and there is an increase in respiratory cases - as is the case every year. I can't imagine CVD19 just up and gone like a fart in the wind, there will be a 2nd wave for sure - it's just a matter of when. However - if you're in the high risk group just take extra care. Im so tired of all this - I need to get to the beach and I want to go on holiday, and I miss my favourite restaurants. I'm not sure how Thailand is going to cope really - to be honest, they are so gung ho and slap happy most of the time, I can't imagine this situation is suddenly going to transform them into bastions of self-discipline and religiously following rules and guidelines. What about all the funky nightlife?? Nana and cowboy and all the hotspots? I Guess that side of life is well and truly gone! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look around how positively everybody wears a mask and wash hands. There is no "boot on the throats of people". We leave that hyperbolic language better for the usa... I would agree that most Thais are okay with wearing masks, washing hands and even the tracking app. I don't think the Thais forced into unemployment and destitution appreciate being forced to remain out of work, though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them will be found to be positive. Not all of them obey the isolation rules. It is still out there - just in smaller numbers I just related to the gf that emergency extended (of course she new that already). I stated some farang on TV suggesting good idea because of Mr Covid.

kamahele Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 obviously all of the provisions in the state of emergency can't be extended as businesses are already approved to open.

Here in Michigan this radical lefty of a governor is using draconian lockdown orders as bad as Thailand’s. Probably only until election and the economy officially tanks, though. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
